I'm not currently involved in emergency services, but I've often thought it would be a good idea for on-duty fire and EMS personnel with a valid CHL to be exempt from the list of off-limits places. It does create significant issues in terms of securing your weapon when responding to calls at places which are statutorily off-limits.

Re: fire128's mention of the "need" to carry on duty--most emergency services personnel are more likely to be involved in hairy situations when on duty than when off, and nobody on this forum would support the notion that someone has to show need to carry a weapon. And while I agree that the police should be the ones to secure an unsafe scene, how many times have you arrived at a call that doesn't sound unsafe at all and it is something completely different?
